The doctors were all busy, leaving only Old Man Li in the ward staring at the patient's family members, and coughing sounds could be heard from time to time. It was an indescribable awkwardness.
"Doctor! What disease do you have? It's not contagious, right?" The patient's family member who had been staring at Old Man Li for a long time finally couldn't help but asked cautiously.
Old man Li sat up and looked at the patient's family. He wanted to explain, but he felt the itching sensation as if a bug was about to crawl into his throat, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear that speaking would make his coughing worse.
"Doctor, I think your illness is similar to that of my husband's comrade-in-arms. He was just like you at the beginning. He couldn't speak a word and would cough violently. Gradually, the coughing stopped. However, although the cough was not severe, it could not be cured. He has been coughing for twenty years!" The patient's family said to Old Man Li.
Old man Li looked at the patient's family with suspicion. It was just a cough, but they had been coughing for twenty years and it couldn't be cured no matter what they did?
"Don't disbelieve it, it's true. My husband's comrade-in-arms is in the ward on the first floor now. If you don't believe me, go and take a look. I heard that it might be that kind of thing!" The patient's family member said mysteriously to Old Man Li.
When Old Man Li saw that the patient's family members spoke with such detail and confidence, he couldn't help but become interested.
Could it be true? How could it be possible? How could I have been poisoned for no apparent reason? Where did it come from? This was sheer nonsense.
Although he appeared stubborn, he still quietly left the ward. The patient's family thought he was going to the toilet and were relieved to see him leave. They said, "You are a doctor, so don't keep lying here coughing. You are coughing there, and I am scared to death here. What if you have tuberculosis?"
Old Man Li came out of the ward, saw that Mu Qingli and the others were not in the corridor, then turned around and went downstairs from the nearest stairs.
He ran directly to the mild illness area on the first floor to observe the patients who had been coughing for twenty years as mentioned by the patient's family.
This made him doubt himself. He had suddenly become like this, and neither Chinese nor Western medicine could find anything wrong. What kind of mysterious disease was this? Could it really be that thing? Could it really exist?
But, it was impossible for me to let that annoying little girl treat me, not in this lifetime! Do I still want to save my old face?
Just after Old Man Li went downstairs, Mu Qingli and Qin Xiao came out of a ward and smiled secretly at the direction he left.
When Old Man Li came out, Mu Qingli and the others were just about to come out of the ward. When they saw him looking to the other side with a sneaky look, they immediately retreated back to the ward.
"I told you, he can't hold on!" Qin Xiao said gloatingly.
"If he wants to persist, he has to be stimulated and unable to speak for at least half a year! His throat will feel itchy when he speaks, haha!" Mu Qingli also felt it was very refreshing and let you do it.
Old man Li went to the first floor, endured the discomfort, put his hands behind his back, held his head high and chest puffed out, and patrolled the ward with the style of a senior old doctor.
As he walked around, he heard coughs of varying severity in every ward, but they were not that frequent. At this frequency, he would be fine even if he coughed for another twenty years.
Walking from one end to the other in the ward corridor, the nurses passing by would occasionally glance at him curiously. Why was this old doctor wandering around their ward instead of seeing patients?
Old man Li felt uncomfortable being stared at by the nurses, so he started walking back after reaching the end.
When I passed by a ward, I heard a patient talking.
"Yeah! Me too. At the beginning, it was itchy and uncomfortable all over, like a caterpillar was about to crawl out of my throat!"
"More than that? It was on fire! I thought I was going to die!"
"Me too, I didn't expect to be alive until now!"
"I heard from the higher-ups that we were set up in Yun Province! After I recover, I will definitely go back and seek revenge on those bastards!"
"Let's go together!"
"Yes, go back and take revenge!"
Old man Li quietly stood at the door and eavesdropped. Fearing that he would be suspected by the nurses and patients' families passing by, he stood there looking up and down, left and right, as if he was observing something and planning to do something.
At this time, a nurse came over and stood where Old Man Li was, looking left and right, wanting to know what he was looking at.
However, the nurse looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Hey! Old man, what are you looking for? Can't you find the ward?" The female nurse suddenly spoke behind Old Man Li.
"Hah!" Old man Li was frightened and jumped up suddenly.
The female nurse was also startled by him and staggered back two steps.
Am I that scary? Look how scared this old man is.
Old man Li was so stimulated by the female nurse that he could no longer hold it in and started coughing violently.
His face turned red and his neck became thick, and he kept coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
"Old man, are you okay?" The female nurse was frightened when she saw this.
If this old man suddenly suffers from some disease, I will be held responsible!
At this time, the patients in the ward also heard the noise and rushed out of the ward.
"What's wrong with this old man?"
"Isn't it the same as us?"
"I don't know! It looks like we just started!"
"What if he has tuberculosis?"
A patient suddenly said this.
With a "bang", both the patient and the nurse took three steps back.
Everyone looked at the comrade with resentment in their eyes. Do you think tuberculosis is a minor disease?
"Hehe! I just said it casually!" The patient scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
